DKIM, which is an acronym for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which stops email addresses from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is done by adding an electronic signature to each message sent from an email address under a given domain. The signature is issued based on a private cryptographic key that’s available on the outgoing SMTP server and it can be verified with a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any message with altered content or a forged sender can be spotted by mail service providers. This method will enhance your online safety considerably and you’ll be sure that any message sent from a business collaborator, a banking institution, and so on, is legitimate. When you send out email messages, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that appears to be counterfeit may either be flagged as such or may never be delivered to the recipient’s inbox, based on how the given provider has decided to treat such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Website Hosting
You will be able to make the most of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every shared website hosting service that we’re offering without doing anything specific, because the mandatory records for using this authentication system are created automatically by our web hosting platform when you add a domain name to an existing hosting account through the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the particular domain name uses our name server records, a private cryptographic key will be issued and stored on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the DNS system. If you send regular emails to customers or business allies, they’ll always be received and no unauthorized individual will be able to forge your address and make it look like you have sent a given message.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers
The DomainKeys Identified Mail feature is offered by default with any domain that’s registered through a semi-dedicated server account with our company. The domain should also use our name servers, so that its DNS resource records are managed by our platform. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT record to be created, which is in fact the public encryption key that confirms if a given email message is legitimate or not. This record is set up when a brand-new domain is added to a semi-dedicated server account through the Hepsia Control Panel and at the same time, a private key is created on our email servers. If you use our web and email hosting services, your email messages will always reach their target viewers and you will not need to worry about unsolicited parties forging your addresses for scamming or spamming purposes, which is essential in case you use emails to touch base with your business partners.
